Ah thank you! Handy to know. The one thing it has over PSX version is Maria mode which was fun to try out but doesn't feel very essential either

i just wanna say that i really like modern jrpgs and star ocean is goddamn trash and i dunno how it even managed to get a fifth game

Squeenix should have just given the Lightning license to Tri Ace so they could more LR games

We wouldn't need knock-off Valkyrie Profile if we could just get an actual Valkyrie Profile again.

They tried this kinda with exist archive but that kinda blew so I'd rather just have more Lightning games.

This is a genuinely insane 3 months for gaming in general. There are multiple GotY contenders and lots of great games all shoved into a time frame that is utterly absurd.

The hits haven't stopped personally since like September 2015. I've bought new release games at a pace of like once a month since that have all been amazing

I've never played a Souls game but I've seen a lot of videos and GIFs of Souls games and there's never a face to be seen. Only helmets.

I will not wear a helmet if I'm particularly fond of my creation so I can at them on elevators

I pondered the idea of eventually grabbing a heavily discounted Wii U to have The Nintendo Machine with it's virtual console.

But, then I realized most of the games on VC are still $10 each. wtf.

They're like 5 to 10 which is totally reasonable

FFXV is epic but I've only played the demo. The only bad FF game is the III remake.

I really just want a digital list of games that I own but haven't beaten or want to replay, so I can just pull it up and see "Oh, I never beat Metroid Prime" and able to pull it up on my phone or computer without digging through my closet. Ratings or recommendations would just help me prioritize what I play.

I really hope the west gets DQ11. I know the reason DQ10 didn't come out here is because it's an MMO and not because we're not going to get more Dragon Quest games but I'm gonna expect the worst until we have an actual date

Between DQ Heroes and Builders and DQ 7/8 all getting released in the West in the last two years I would eat my own rear end if DQ11 didnt come out here.

I'm struggling with that right now as well with the final boss of Oath in Felghana, which is doubly annoying because even if you can successfully dodge all his patterns it's pure Rng on whether or not the specific circumstances will allow you to get hits in the second phase.

It's incredible that they managed to gently caress up a bomberman game and then sell it for 50 dollars.

# ¿ Mar 7, 2017 22:33

For some asinine reason they decided that it would be fun if you had to play a bomberman game with a zoomed in and canted camera angle so you could never actually see the entire level

What is the penalty?

It's got souls corpse run system but instead of currency on the line it's your equipment and any XP you had gained since last save, which can delevel you

It's worth pointing out that there's actually quite a bit of academic criticism around video games but nobody reads that stuff outside of the person who wrote it and maybe one or two of the people who showed up on that block of the conference and saw the presentation.

It may just be selection bias but I also think a lot of criticism on video games tends to skew in a negative direction. Too much "here's why this game is racist/sexist" and not enough "here's how this game portrays people or issues well and what the industry can learn from it. "

Academic games stuff is too young to be messing with identity politics, it's like 25 minute presentations on the ball physics in FIFA2014

Everybody list your game-graphics shock moments:

Doom 2 (at the time second 3D game I've ever seen after Wolfenstein 3D)
Quake 2 (woah you can't see pixels, how is this possible)
GTA 3 (oh my god, you can run in any direction in a giant 3D city with no loading screens, what?)
Burnout 3 Takedown (I told my cousin that this is how real-life cars look and it will be hard to get better than this)
Oblivion (the classic out-of-the-cave moment many people had)
LA Noire (facial animations)
Battlefront (I was actually shocked how much this game literally looked like Star Wars movies at all times)
Uncharted 4 would be the latest one where I really felt a jump in quality in comparison to other games

There were probably a few others that I forgot.

When my neighbor down the street got a dream cast and I still had a SNES and he showed me ready 2 rumble boxing and I poo poo my pants.

looking at the Zelda/Nier/persona 5 reviews earlier I was remembering the old Phil Fish quote about how Japanese games suck, then watched the video again and was surprised that when he describes his ideal Zelda game, it's pretty much what BOTW became https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKUGwlFJAHw

The final boss of Oath in Felghana is kind of a bummer to me because of how much I love the rest of the game but I beat it again. I may start a NG+ file immediately on Very Easy and see if I could beat the game in like 3 hours

Performance only matters if the game becomes unplayable for it, imo. There's a million things I care about in a game before framerate. Unless it's a FG or a shmup, but arguably the framerate is intrinsic to the gameplay anyway so it becomes hard to separate
